Today I was so stupid: I wanted to close the deal quickly, and I trembled, opening the slippage wider, only to encounter a pool depth that was already average, and the transaction price was directly "pushed" up. Looking back at those few seconds of the candlestick, it felt like I was doing charity for others... To put it plainly, it’s not the market trapping me, but my order placement rhythm was too hurried.
Let’s review: Don’t bite off a big chunk from a small pool, split the orders more slowly, and first check how thick the order book/on-chain liquidity is; if I really want to chase, I’d rather wait one or two more dollars for confirmation, don’t rush emotionally to grab that one moment. Recently, everyone has been linking ETF capital flows, US stock risk appetite, and coin price movements, and hearing that makes me want to remind myself even more: no matter how hot the narrative outside, for my trade it’s still “depth + slippage + quick hands.” Anyway, I need to be reminded: better to miss out than chase recklessly, treat trading like a checklist and execute it step by step.
